Digg users rebel against account cancellations

That's the Diggers rebelling against account cancellations brought on by people posting the HD-DVD decryption key (09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0) that lets you play most such movies in Linux.

It seems Digg folded under studio pressure and not only deleted the stories posted, but also cancelled people's accounts.

Needless to say, the Diggers didn't take kindly to such a thing. Guess that crowd thing cuts both ways huh?

Just like the t-shirts with a one line perl script used to generate encrypted messages.

The caption after the code was “don’t export this t-shirt” since it was stronger encrytion than US law allowed.
